Chapter 366 A Ray of Light (8)
At dusk, Zhao Ning came out of the wounded barracks, and Wei Wuxian, who had gone to Bianliang to report the victory, happened to return to Xihe City.
"Gao Furui, this bird, is in such a hurry to send someone to arrest He Ping and go back, it is clear that he wants the other party to bear all the responsibility for the capture of Xihe City by Beihu. β
Hearing about the officials of the Criminal Department, Wei Wuxian smacked his mouth and touched his two chins thoughtfully: "If He Ping really returns to Bianliang, I'm afraid he will inevitably be killed by the other party." β
Zhao Ning said as he walked: "Gao Furui is indeed a scourge. β
The reason why Xihe City was quickly broken by the Beihu army was because after Gao Furui explored the north bank of the Yellow River, he brought back the conclusion that the main attack direction of the Beihu army would not be Yunzhou, and it would not attack immediately.
The reason why the Yunzhou Assassin dared to plan to eliminate dissidents in Yunzhou City and send all the cultivators of the Assassin's Mansion to strangle the cultivators in the city was also because he got Gao Furui's news and was sure that Yunzhou was worry-free for the time being, so he thought that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside".
Two things, of course, He Ping and Yunzhou Assassin Shi are very culpable.
However, Gao Furui, as a military genius sent by the imperial court at a critical moment to specifically assess the battle situation in Yunzhou, made a wrong judgment with confidence when the situation was tense and the battle situation was critical, and told He Ping and others what he said, causing the latter to deal with the seizure of Xihe City inappropriately, and undoubtedly had to bear the responsibility of He Ping.
In order to clear his name, Gao Furui must shirk responsibility.
Then use the power and influence in his hands to arrest He Ping back to Bianliang early, concoct a confession in his favor, revise what he once said to He Ping, and then create a false impression that He Ping committed suicide in fear of crime, and kill He Ping, and die without proof, it is a logical choice.
"Although Xihe City has been recaptured by us, Gao Furui's erroneous judgment has caused tens of thousands of soldiers to die in vain, and the battle situation has almost collapsed for a time. β
Wei Wuxian said with a gloomy face.
"Impeachment, of course, is impeachment. β
Zhao Ning looked at the soldiers coming and going on the street, "However, the Yunzhou Thorn Shi has been sent to Bianliang, and it is too late to chase it at this moment, Gao Furui can still get the confession he wants from the other party." β
"So what?"
Wei Wuxian's mung bean's big eyes glared, "Gao Furui's erroneous judgment of military intelligence is already well known in Yunzhou, and with only the confession of a Yunzhou assassin, can he still block the mouth of the world? From today onwards, who in the world will not criticize Gao Furui? How can he stay out of the matter and not be severely punished?"
Zhao Ning looked at Wei Wuxian: "Do you think the imperial court will punish him?" instead of just finding an excuse that can be prevaricated and covering up his guilt?"
"It's impossible!"
Wei Wuxian was confident: "I know what you're worried about, Gao Furui is about to become a colt, and he is very valued by His Majesty. But after the start of the national war, His Majesty has been fair and strict, rewarded and punished, and the world of Daqi is Lang Lang Qiankun!
"Gao Furui's actions have caused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, how can Your Majesty and the imperial court defy the great condemnation of the world and bend the law for personal gain to protect him? If this is the case, how can the people's anger and anger be calmed down? I conclude that within a few days, Gao Furui will definitely be imprisoned!"
Zhao Ning didn't want to say more: "I hope so." β
How much power does the people's sentiment and anger and the hearts of the people in the world have?
Is it big enough to threaten the real top magnates within the dynasty?
When they arrived at the Defense Envoy's Mansion, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian had just sat down when a general came to report the results of cleaning up the battlefield. In addition to more accurate casualty statistics, one of the major items is the collection of armor runes.
The Beihu army left nearly 40,000 corpses inside and outside Xihe City, and these 40,000 vanguard warriors were all dressed in armor, and all the cultivators used talismans.
After the Yunzhou army won this battle, although there was no siege and land, and there was no income from the treasury wealth and grain, the armor and soldiers on the battlefield were a lot of income.
If a soldier dies in battle, the armor will be damaged to a certain extent, but the time and investment in repairing an armor cannot be compared with creating a new armor, so this is a big profit.
As for the Fu soldiers, they will be damaged very little on the spot, and most of them can be used when they are picked up, among which the Heavenly Wolf Bow of the Beihu army is undoubtedly something that the Qi army dreams of.
Whether it is ordinary armor soldiers or rune armor, aside from the very few parts that cannot be used at all, more than 30,000 sets of armaments, equipped with more Yunzhou army officers and soldiers, will undoubtedly greatly improve the combat power of the Yunzhou army.
"Since the beginning of the national war, the Wang division has lost troops one after another, lost cities and lost land, and it has always been the Hu people who have taken away our armor and soldiers, and now it is finally time to turn the situation around. Wei Wuxian lamented the difficulty of the war.
So far, the Great Qi army has lost hundreds of thousands, and Yanping and Hebei have been conquered, countless treasury have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the Beihu army is already in armor.
On the other hand, the Great Qi Wang Division, because there are fewer arsenals south of the Yellow River, the reserves cannot be compared with the Beijing Division and the border passes, and many of the rebel armies do not have armor.
Wei Wuxian continued: "Fortunately, we won this battle, and the Yunzhou army is in a big array, plus these captures, the next battle will be much easier." β
Speaking of this, he showed a heartfelt smile, "The national war has come to this point, and finally in the long dark night, a ray of light has been opened. With this ray of light shining in the direction, our road ahead will no longer be as difficult as before. β
It can be seen that Wei Wuxian has two more points of confidence and optimism for the next battle situation because of this victory.
Zhao Ning took a sip of tea and was noncommittal: "How do you think the next war will go?"
This was difficult for Wei Wuxian, and he blurted out: "After recapturing Xihe City, the Yunzhou defense line can be rebuilt, and we only need to hold the river bank with a complete Yunzhou theater to meet the main force of Beihu, even if Beihu takes away hundreds of naval warships, it is not so easy to land."
"As long as we can hold out for a while, when the imperial reinforcements arrive, Yunzhou will be impregnable!
"After a year and a half, when the Beihu troops have been consumed by us a lot, the soldiers are tired and the soldiers are dull, and our soldiers have been honed into veterans on the battlefield, we will be able to mobilize naval warships from Jiangnan to enter the Yellow River from the sea, and cooperate with the army of Yunzhou to cross the river north and counterattack Hebei!
"At present, there are already many rebel armies in Hebei, although it is not yet a climate, but after a year and a half, it will inevitably grow stronger, and it will be able to echo the frontal offensive of Wang Shi! Moreover, as long as Wang Shi crosses the river and lands on the bank, the army and people of Daqi in Hebei will inevitably respond in groups, and at that time, will the Beihu army not be defeated?"
Speaking of this, Wei Wuxian's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were terrifyingly bright, "If the Beihu army does not continue to attack in the past year and a half, then we will be able to accumulate strength from the volume, and we will also be able to cooperate with the king of Hebei in the future and counterattack Hebei!"
Picking up the tea bowl and drinking it in one gulp, Wei Wuxian was very happy and concluded: "In short, as long as we can hold the Yellow River, we will gradually have the strength to fight a decisive battle with Beihu!"
"As long as the land of Jin is not lost, the Beihu army cannot enter Guanzhong, and the flanks of the Central Plains are worry-free, the overall situation will not be threatened, and the situation will inevitably develop in the direction we expect!"
He stared at Zhao Ning and asked: "In a short period of one and a half years, or in three or two years, we will be able to return to Hebei and drive Beihu out of the Great Wall!
To his surprise, Zhao Ning was not as excited as him.
On the contrary, Zhao Ning's face was very calm.
Calm almost indifferent.
Just like what Wei Wuxian said, it had nothing to do with him at all.
This made Wei Wuxian stunned, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, and he said in surprise, "Don't you think so?"
Zhao Ning put down the tea bowl, and his voice was calm and almost indifferent: "There are two questions. β
"Which two questions?"
"First, if Yunzhou can be defended, will the Yellow River be defended?"
"Why not?"
"The current Daqi army, compared with the 40,000 Yunzhou horse army last night, is not half a star. We were able to win last night, which does not mean that the Great Qi army in other places can also block the elite army of Beihu. β
"We were able to win last night, and to get to the bottom of it, there are many cultivators in the 40,000 horse army, and they are not afraid of deathβthere are so many cultivators who have joined the army in Yunzhou, but there are no other places? As long as the cultivators are ...... enough?"
"Nowhere else. β
β......β
"Second, you're ignoring someone. β
"Who?"
"Tianyuan Khan. β
"Tianyuan Khan?"
"Since the National War, Tianyuan Khan has not shown up, and that is because the Beihu army has never been defeated, and he does not need to take action personally. It's different now, we've beaten Borshu here, and he's not going to sit idly by. β
"What realm can Tianyuan Khan be, and what can he do if he makes a move?
"I can't stop it. β
"This ......" Wei Wuxian looked at Zhao Ning in disbelief, "The Metropolitan Governor in the late stage of the Wang Ji Realm can't stop the Tianyuan Khan? Could it be that the Tianyuan Khan is the Heavenly and Human Realm? How is this possible! There has never been a Heavenly and Human Realm on the grassland!"
Zhao Ning looked out of the door, still with no expression on his face, like an old monk who had settled down: "The past does not represent the present, let alone the future." β
Wei Wuxian was speechless.
His face changed violently, and he asked word by word: "I know that you have a lot of eyeliner in the grassland, and you can explore a lot of secrets, but Tianyuan Khan is such a thing as the Heavenly and Human Realm, do you have any evidence?"
Zhao Ning shook his head: "If the existence of the Heavenly and Human Realm is not revealed in front of people, what evidence can I have? If I have solid evidence, I will tell the court about this." β
"Then how do you confirm that he is the Heavenly and Human Realm?" Wei Wuxian did not give up, or he hoped that this was not true.
If Tianyuan Khan was really a celestial realm, it would be terrifying. What would happen next was completely unpredictable for him, and it was difficult for Daqi to deal with! The battle situation, which had just had hope of stability, was very likely to collapse in an instant!
"No, I'm sure here. Zhao Ning stood up, walked outside the door, and looked at the sky with his hands, "This is a fact. It is a fact that people in the world will soon witness with their own eyes. β
Hearing this, Wei Wuxian only felt cold in his hands and feet.
The meaning of Zhao Ning's words is undoubtedly that Tianyuan Khan will make a move soon!
There is no heaven and man in the Central Plains for a long time.
It's been so long that everyone's memory of the power of the heavenly and human realms has been blurred.
Wei Wuxian couldn't imagine what kind of scene it would be if the Heavenly Yuan Khan of the Heavenly and Human Realm made a brazen move, and what kind of impact it would have on the overall situation of the national war!
